The blocking of the cardiac valve with a blood clot can cause heart attacks. Research has shown that those who eat larger amounts of omega 3-rich foods have a lower risk of heart attack (http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Heart-Attack.html) compared to those consuming less. Among the inhabitants of Okinawa Japan, the high consumption of omega 3 fatty acid due to a love of fish oil is considered a major reason why they're very good heart health and one of the longest life expectancies in the world.

Antioxidants

The body needs antioxidants to prevent heart disease and improve circulation. Antioxidants reduce the harmful effects of free radicals on cells. Free radicals occur naturally in the metabolism and other physiological processes. Antioxidants are very useful in combating and preventing cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer's disease.

Lycopene, tomatoes and red fruit is a bright red carotenoid pigment. It is also the carotenoid most common in the human body. Tomatoes are an excellent source, because the processing of tomatoes increases the concentration of lycopene. With tomatoes, it can be found in watermelon, pink grapefruit and papaya rosehip.

Calcium

Calcium is an important mineral in heart health because it regulates the contraction muscle and nerve conduction. It works effectively with magnesium and the need for adequate vitamin D for absorption. Ionized calcium is a mineral essential in maintaining cardiac function. It supports the relaxation phase of the heart as it stimulates muscle contraction. Calcium deficiency, especially among seniors has been linked to arteriosclerosis and hypertension, which could lead to heart disease. Calcium is in dairy products, leafy vegetables, soybeans, fish with bones and more. Recommended intakes of calcium are year from 1.000 to 1.300 mg per day for men and women over 19
